Foo Fighters greatest hits & Dave Grohl's Side project - not over yet?

Mon, 09 Nov 2009

As the Foo Fighters release their Greatest Hits, Dave Grohl feels it’s a little premature (giving fans hope there will be more to come from the band in the future) as they’re still very much active despite his side line project ‘Them Crooked Vultures’ with Queens of the Stone Age frontman Josh Homme and John Paul Jones from Led Zeppelin.

The band had tried to put of releasing a Greatest Hits album as long as possible but it hadbeen written into their record deal a long time ago and they were contractually obligated to go ahead with it.

Greatest Hits track list contains, “All My Life” two versions of “Everlong” – one being acoustic, “The Pretender”, “My Hero”, “Learn To Fly”, “Times Like These”, “Monkeywrench”, “Big Me”, “Breakout”, “Long Road To Ruin”, “This is a Call”, “Skin and Bones”, “Wheels”, and “Word Forward”.

However, at a secret show in Berlin for the MTV Europe Music Awards it would be the last gig for some time whilst the band pursue solo projects but reassures fans that they are far from over.  Dave Grohl recently told CNN, "I think we decided to take a break, not because we wanted to stop making music, but because we thought the world needed to take a break from us.”

The Foo Fighters Greatest Hits album was released at the beginning of November, and ‘Them Crooked Vultures’ release their debut album latest this month.
